All things great & small

Explorations into the combined retrogrades of Aquarius Mercury/Jupiter Leo.
Mercury is direct, (out of shadow March 4).
Jupiter direct at 12 Leo on April 8.
What can be gleaned from these thinking, communication retrogrades ?

Evaluation.
Sevens are mysterious, different, intellectual and metaphysical.  Ruled by Uranus (Aquarius) seven represents freedom, change and inventive eccentricity.  Seven of pents represents contemplation of action, patience and being at a crossroads.

I am feeling this one.  No longer waiting for Bloom, it’s done.  Hallelujah !  Orli’s chart was one of my most read posts here.  I completed a major undertaking recently, was left wondering …”now what ?”  Actually I do know my next few steps, but with the giant project over, I had to re-form another big picture, brainstorm another lofty goal.

I had lost what, over time, had become my refuge, or so I thought.
This card points to re-evaluation for all of us.

Uranian/Seven rant:
No one is alone, truly alone – for we are all on this rock/boat together in a vast sea of space.  Not only are we physically (via the elements) and psychically connected, but know also other dimensions are present as well.  We have guides, angels (Uranus rules angels and Aquarius) and messenger friends in the animal world as well.  We are loved and supported though we may at times have felt abandoned, that is not the case.
This one in particular is for all you single folks out there…keep going…if I can keep going through hell, so can you – just keep going.  I’ll see you on the other side.

Now for Jupiter which is still retrograde for several weeks…
What have we to glean from this transit ?

Frustration.
Not growing fast enough, creative misses, skillcraft fumbles, uncontrolled waste, scattering energies.  Oh yeah…Jupiter does love to explore new vistas, and the seemingly relentless navel-gazing may be getting a bit old.  Believe me I get it, my 8th/12th solar, just call me swamp thing.

Fives are ruled by Mercury – flexible, full of surprises and opportunity.

This retrograde is here to teach us creative patience, control and stillness.  See the irony and laugh at distractions for they are great teachers.  Goats, gators, elephants and birds are totem messengers, but so are flies and mosquitoes.
All things great and small.

Today’s questions:
1 – Best Pisces Moon emo focus for most positive growth. (above)
2 – How to best ground Pluto in Capricorn, our singular earth energy. (below)

Combustion
Kundalini flare.  Pisces influence comes in waves, particularly with Moon waxing.
Sensitivities hightened by Aquarius energy Sun/Mercury/Venus opposing Jupiter in Leo, shifts in the balance between inspiration and the lower and higher mind (Mercury and Jupiter both Rx).  

Actions of another are lighting fuses in houses Aquarius and Leo.

Knowing of the Heart.
Personal Aura.
Exploring energies.

Combustion is short-lived. 
Hair trigger actions will and do happen with Uranian energy buzzing – these shifts of perspective need to happen for they are signposts to insights we don’t normally see or feel.  Fog lifts…
We SEE what needs to change.
Acknowledge, accept, acclimate.

Know what you are setting fire to before you light the match.
Have patience. Think twice.

Grounding Pluto via patience and empathy – for self & others.
Differing agendas, experiences, leads to differing perspectives.
Communication from the heart coupled with patience.

Recognizing the inner dialogue between two sides.
(retrogrades + Uranus square Pluto)
Balance requires knowing polarities well.

Jupiter Rx 22 Leo
Dec 8 London 8:45pm
Chicago 2:41pm
Dec 9 Tokyo 5:45am
Jupiter Direct 12 Leo April 8

Jupiter retrograde in Leo and I deliberately chose this deck for you get to be your own guru and interpret it yourself without my filter.  YaY !  Enjoy it folks, fair to say my Sagittarius Mars/9th house Virgo shizzle will have me climbing atop my soapbox soon enough. heh. heh.

Stationing retrograde sends all things Jupiter into a spin.  Been feeling it myself alongside Uranus squ Pluto coming into hard focus within the week.

Which is exactly what Jupiter retrograde delivers – reintegration of SEEING the SELF. 

House Leo adds your personalization to this transit.
Brief house interp here, or see dropdown for loads more.
Leos see 1; Virgos 12; Libra 11; Scorpio 10; Sagittarius 9; Capricorn 8;
Aquarius 7; Pisces 6; Aries 5; Taurus 4; Gemini 3; Cancer 2

Faith, long-range decisions, travel, philosophies, ethics, publishing and all manner of visions are called into question.  Personal awareness meets global information  overload particularly after a full Gemini Moon.  Retrograde indicates a slowing down to be yin/introverted.  The brilliantly far-reaching vision of Jupiter focuses the mind’s eye inwardly to the culture of ONE for enlightenment.

The Macro goes Micro. 
What am I going on about ?  Scale of the Universe

Yes we are the stewards of our own universe.  How is that going lately ?  It will be on our minds in the upcoming months, glean for juicy info – only you know.  Speaking of knowing, this retrograde brings Jupiter into trine with Uranus exact on February 27.  Groovy ideas and expansive ideas re: self-improvements will be incoming as this aspect perfects.  Again, glean it for info and note it is also a fabulous time to learn new things, Jupiter is higher education and this retrograde will engage reverence for new horizons, enlightenment and understanding.

Befitting my own Jupiter Rx in exact square to biggie Neptune, I am pitching some info out there re: faulty logic, cult leaders and brain-washing. Links below.
Fab info for your BS detector.
Being no stranger to weird religious experiences (Sun/Uran/Pluto 9) I find this info very enlightening.  Just in case anyone thought I was drinking the cult Kool-Aid by omission in previous posts – not so – just sayin’.  I was being polite, there is a difference.  While I am at it, if what you read here does not resonate with you, move along.  Simple as that.

I was so over churched for a few years when I was young.  Sun am/pm Wed pm + bible study another night.  Sheesh.  If it is your gig and it helps you, hey knock yourself out, but when a bunch of strangers I barely know want to lay hands all over me…?
HAHAAAHAA Yeah right !
Not. gonna. happen.
Saturn in 3 (restriction/hands) !
Particularly when the girl you just did it to had the equivalent of a glossolalia mini-breakdown.  No thanks.  Snakes, yes.  Hands, no !
What can I say, I have Jupiter (higher vision) square (& Moon opposite) Neptune 11 (weird mystics).
Voyeur only. 

peace out

photo 24For those who may be feeling stuck, philosophies and optimism on the wane with this long Jupiter Rx in Cancer…  

Freedom is the key.  
Jupiter is ruled by 3 which symbolizes growth, creativity and self-expression.

Mind Body Spirit needs liberated in some way.

Mercury Rx adds to thinking revisions underway – while in rebellious Aquarius…
Freedom is the key.

Enlightened hermit shines soul intelligence outward, but only after the vision quest.
9 is a number of endings.
Intelligence and wisdom gained through experience and quiet reflection.

In soulitude.

Who, what or when will be liberated on your retrograde vision quest…and Why ?

You already know.  
Just do it.

business & bizness

Posted on by

holding-hands-HD-WallpapersCardinal squares and opposition energies between (Capricorn) borders and (Cancer) families erupt again.  I was done for the night, but it boggles my mind that as human beings we are still dealing with marriage inequality.

Admittedly, I have Capricorn ASC and Libra MC, so equal rights of any and all kinds is a no-brainer for me – ? but really ? – globally we are still hashing over who can get legally married, share assets and start a family ?  It is after all their business, their love, their marriage and their assets.

AChoudry
Ali Choudhry and Dr. Matthew Hynd run the risk of not only being separated, but Ali runs the risk of being deported to Pakistan, a country he is unfamiliar with (Ali grew up in the US), he does not speak the language or have contacts there and being openly gay means he is subject to imprisonment or death.

Australian immigration does not view their long-standing 4-year relationship valid though they married in a civil union in March of 2012 under a Queensland state law which was then repealed by the incoming Liberal-National Coalition Queensland Government three months later.  A review of the partnership rejection/visa application was denied.

Australia is Sagittarius (Jupiter rules), Taurus (Venus rules).
Venus and Jupiter energies are retrograde aka: review, reorient, revision.

Venus (marriage) is retrograde in Capricorn the sign of parameters and borders.
Jupiter (law) is retrograde in Cancer the sign of family and home.
Jupiter Rx opposes Capricorn energies of Pluto, Sun, Mercury and Venus Rx signaling a need to revise parameters between family and public matters via compromise, cooperation.
Squares to Aries and Libra is active change (Mars/Uranus) leading us into a future of equal rights.  Humans globally juggling for compromise and cooperation re: family equality.

shells of the tribes

Love this pic !  MILES of SMILES on these lovely ladies who are bursting with color and life.  My Mom (Sag rising on my Mars) and Sis (Toro Rising on my natal Moon) are here early for the holiday so this pic seemed apt for a Sagittarius (world traveler) Sun.

Jupiter Rx in Cancer leads to reflection on the tribe – globally and those you hang with privately – opposing Venus and Pluto in Capricorn, the seeking metamorphosis vibration is hashed out between you and those who are of long-standing partnerships and agreements through love/money/work.  Expansion-driven Jupiter moves to explore all cavities inside the shell, (re) consider, who has been witness to a lifetime of personal little deaths & little rebirths as they walk their own path beside/opposite you. 
A retrospective, retroactive navel gaze, if you will. 

Mercury/Saturn trine Jupiter Rx from Scorpio making transmutation and reformation of feelings re: family bonds and perceptions of them possible by creating the perceptual shift in the brainpan first. Mercury sextile Venus from fixed metamorphosis to cardinal go for the gusto can create a shift in the balance for the better if you make it happen.

Sag Sun square Chiron in Pisces is philosophy of healing explored and felt high qi if done properly – find the break and reset the bone – wounded healer knows how best to heal because they are the walking wounded themselves.  Let the spirit of understanding how the one side of you SEES the other side of you be your guide, your compass.  Seek the shift of perception that dwells in the polarities of yourself, make friends with both then find your healthy balance.   

Capricorn Venus trine Mars in Virgo – earth to earth – pure manifestation on the physical plane.  Instinctive forward thrust coupled with amped up think tank problem-solving in regards to any and all relationships/bond/contracts across all time dimensions.  See the patterns, organize and rally perceptual forces to streamline, usefulness mode.  Venus in Capricorn desires achievement, sets goals, has blinders on while climbing – Mars in Virgo is much the same, duty-bound and detailed, anticipating tasks before they arise.

Moon moves to oppose Aries Uranus from Venus-ruled Libra – with Mars trine Venus in Capricorn – heads up you have mail – a message incoming from your past !

In closing, a hearty thank you going out to all my readers, all those who have appeared here on these pages at GMA (obviously, I dig you), also thank you to those who are yet to come, I look forward to meeting all of you.  (deep bow)

Cat Vulture

Meet rowdy kitty. 

Voted staff favorite at the shelter, often found escaping the kitty cat common area via the rafters, dubbed miss great personality.  Independent, yet buttery – and who couldn’t love that face ..?.. bright-eyed and bushy-tailed 24/7.

First few days she was Cat Vulture staring me awake at 3am. Jolting awake to hairy eyeball first thing at silly o’clock is a bit eep.
My astro : Venus conjunct Jupiter in catty Leo 8* square sleepy Neptuner in 11.

Venus just popped into Saturn-ruled Capricorn yesterday, Saturn rules time and Father**.  Jupiter stations Rx tomorrow (see * above) and the current square between Uranus Rx and Pluto*** (both of which are conjunct Sun in my natal) finds Uranus Rx parked on my natal Saturn Rx (see ** above) in Mars-ruled Aries.

Mars is accidents and Leo rules hair/fur, and stations are tricky, a bit like juggling the energy, Sagittarians (Jupiter rules) can be clumsy on a good day.  My natal Mars is in Sagittarius (trine natal Saturn), so yah, I am familiar.

Sun is conjunct Saturn in Scorpio – spotlight on Father Time ?!

Tonight while cooking I heard a BIG CRASH from the other room.  I found my (late) Dad’s Seth Thomas clock keeled over onto a pile of cds (some of which are my former Sagittarius husbands – Jupiter, Sag; Venus, partner) with tufts of rowdy grey cat fur hanging off the top spindles.  yipe !

Obviously a narrow escape.
Jupiter is a fabulous fun planet, often bestowing blessings and/or luck.

The only thing displaced in the crash was the pendulum, (which Uranus rules, see** &***) otherwise, the clock was unharmed.  I think I can fix it.

Now how cool is that ?!?!
More..?  haha 
Vultures are ruled by Mars, Uranus and Pluto, which was not on my mind at the outset.
Seriously folks, can not make this stuff up – astrology is amazeballs.

Peace Love & Purrs
